Chapter 3479 Cleansing Heart Needle

The commotion in the Purple Sun Immortal Realm

could not escape Shen Changqing’s notice.

Although he was in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, the Xingdao Alliance had a large number of members.

Especially in recent years, Shen Changqing had used the Seven Profound Divine Tower to cultivate a new batch of Acquired Demon Gods.

Now,

the entire Xingdao Alliance had a total of 1.2 million surviving Acquired Demon Gods.

While

1.2 million Acquired Demon Gods might seem insufficient if scattered across the 3,600 Immortal States of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm,

Shen

Changqing was currently focusing his efforts on the Divine Wind State, and the resources allocated to other Immortal States were limited. Of

the 1.2 million Acquired Demon Gods, at least 100,000 to 200,000 were in the Divine Wind State.

Thus,

the vast Divine Wind State

was practically under Shen Changqing’s watchful eye.

Moreover,

unlike ordinary cultivators, Acquired Demon Gods were almost never likely to betray him, unless they encountered an existence at the level of the Dark Lord, in which case it would be a different story.

But in reality—

how many powerful figures of the Dark Lord’s caliber would care about a mere Acquired Demon God?

Such acquired bloodlines are merely average in the eyes of top experts, and their Ancient Immortal Realm cultivation is utterly insignificant.

Moreover,

Shen Changqing has left corresponding marks on each Acquired Demon God.

If there is any betrayal,

he can detect it immediately.

Under these circumstances, Shen Changqing’s grasp of information is naturally comprehensive.

He learned of the Ziyang Immortal Domain’s actions almost immediately.

“The Longevity Inheritance!”

“The Mysterious Dao Palace—”

Shen Changqing murmured to himself, having no particular interest in the ancient inheritance appearing in the Ziyang Immortal Domain. After all,

Shenfeng Prefecture is a major immortal prefecture in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, having nurtured countless powerful figures over countless years.

Furthermore,

the Ziyang Immortal Domain is a top-hundred-ranked supreme immortal domain.

The foundation of such a domain is unfathomably deep.

The appearance of a Longevity Inheritance

is perfectly normal .

Just then…

As the Heavenly Soul Curse imprint shattered, Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered it, and he immediately saw an ancient Dao Palace emerge from the void in a vast, desolate world.

This Dao Palace was clearly before him, yet it seemed to exist in another dimension, as if it had traversed the river of time. The terrifying aura, capable of suppressing eternity, shook Shen Changqing’s mind.

Moreover,

numerous terrifying auras raged and surged in the void.

The moment Shen Changqing looked at one of the figures, he heard a cold snort.

“What kind of petty person dares to spy on this Venerable One!” As

the words fell ,

the void instantly shattered .

All the images

abruptly ceased.

When Shen Changqing reopened his eyes, there were bloodshot veins, but they quickly returned to normal.

“A Six Tribulation Half-Saint!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm.

The being he had just sensed through the Heavenly Soul Curse was a Six Tribulation level Longevity Half-Saint.

Shen Changqing wasn’t surprised that such a powerful being could detect his probing.

After all, the Heavenly Soul Curse was merely a secret technique of an Immortal Emperor; trying to probe a Longevity Half-Saint was no easy feat. Although

Shen Changqing’s current strength was enough to contend with a Half-Saint,

the reality was that

a Half-Saint level expert was not to be underestimated.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing wasn’t surprised by this situation.

In that instant, he had already detected the auras of many powerful individuals, ranging from top-tier Immortal Emperors to those possessing the aura of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

Even more remarkably,

several of these auras were beyond the detection of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   Shen Changqing understood   that these individuals were at least Saints. “It seems this Dao Palace is not as simple as an ordinary Longevity

lineage   ; even the legendary Saints have appeared in the Purple Sun Immortal Realm,”   Shen Changqing mused.   In this era, if Half-Saints were rare, then Saints were even rarer.   However rare they may be, some sages will inevitably emerge in this era. However, beings of this level rarely reveal themselves unless absolutely necessary.   The appearance of a sage at this moment   demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the Dao Palace.   If it were merely an ordinary half-saint opportunity, Shen Changqing wouldn’t be tempted, but this opportunity involving a sage is different.   Of course,   Shen Changqing only felt a fleeting stirring of desire before suppressing his impulse.   A sage opportunity is desirable,   but one must be able to obtain it.   The Dao Palace hasn’t even truly appeared yet, yet it has already attracted many half-saints and even sages.   If the news were to spread completely, the commotion would likely be even greater.   Even with his confidence, Shen Changqing wouldn’t naively believe that he could snatch such an opportunity right under the noses of so many powerful figures.   Moreover ,   the Purple Sun Immortal Realm and the Divine Heaven Realm are separated by many immortal realms; traversing the void to reach them would add considerable uncertainty.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing naturally didn’t have such thoughts.   With this in mind…   Shen Changqing stopped thinking about it, only instructing the Xingdao Alliance to keep a close eye on any movements in the Ziyang Immortal Realm.   At the Yangxin Residence,   Shen Changqing picked up his teacup and sipped, his expression serene and his mood unusually calm and relaxed. When the tea was empty, he poured the last drop onto the roots of the jujube tree.   Instantly, the jujube tree’s branches and leaves trembled, and the blossoms seemed to bloom even more brilliantly.   Such immortal tea!

This was no ordinary immortal tea.

It was a top-grade ninth-rank immortal tea specially sought out by Shen Changqing, named the Heart-Cleansing Immortal Needle. Long-term consumption could cleanse the mind like pure snow, bringing clarity and tranquility.

Even for many Immortal Emperors, it held countless benefits. However

,

for Shen Changqing,

this level of immortal tea didn’t actually have much effect.

He simply enjoyed the taste.

Before him, Chu Junhe, gazing at the immortal tea, felt a sense of exhilaration simply from the aroma alone.

“This immortal tea must be exceptional!”

Although he couldn’t use the Heart-Cleansing Immortal Needle, the few tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, shaped like orchid petals with snow-white down, clearly indicated its extraordinary quality.

Shen Changqing smiled calmly: “Peak Master Chu, you may drink this immortal tea in three portions. Don’t drink too much at once.”

He offered a slight reminder, and Chu Junhe thanked him, then solemnly picked up the cup and took only a small sip.

“Boom—”

As soon as the tea entered his stomach, a terrifying surge of immortal energy erupted from within.

Just a small sip of tea was like a miraculous elixir, its contained immortal energy astonishing.

However,

before Chu Junhe could fully recover from his shock, he felt a profound aura rise from his dantian, instantly penetrating his spiritual sea.

In that instant,

numerous insights flooded his mind.

Chu Junhe almost immediately closed his eyes, disregarding any loss of composure, and began cultivating on the spot.

Shen Changqing remained unmoved by this. After

a long while,

Chu Junhe opened his eyes and quickly drank another sip of immortal tea.

This was repeated.

When the cup of immortal tea was empty, Shen Changqing refilled it.

After three cups of immortal tea,

Chu Junhe’s body suddenly trembled, releasing an aura far stronger than before, and simultaneously, a phantom of the Primordial Chaos World was born behind him.

“Ancient Immortal Queen Stage!”

When Chu Junhe truly regained consciousness, he felt the changes within himself, and a smile spread across his face. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Changqing.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing this opportunity upon me, allowing me to break through my bottleneck!”

Chu Junhe was deeply grateful.

Although he had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Ancient Immortal realm, he was only one step away from breaking through to the Queen Stage.

But in reality, taking that step was by no means easy. It would take at

least 100,000 years,

or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Only by seizing that mysterious opportunity could one have any hope of breaking through.

Now,

after three cups of immortal tea,

he had been saved at least 100,000 years of arduous effort. Chu Junhe was naturally extremely grateful.

Shen Changqing said, “Peak Master Chu’s breakthrough was due to his own substantial foundation. Otherwise, these three cups of Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle wouldn’t have been enough to truly elevate you to the Ancient Immortal realm.

The effects of this immortal tea vary from person to person; some may only see a slight increase in cultivation, while others may break through directly.

Now, Peak Master Chu’s accumulated foundation is almost depleted, so even if he takes the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle again, the effect will be minimal!”   Shen Changqing wasn’t lying.

While   the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle was indeed a high-grade ninth-rank immortal tea, it wasn’t some heaven-defying elixir that could instantly break through one’s cultivation.   Ultimately,   the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle was merely a catalyst.   The real reason for the breakthrough lay with Chu Junhe himself.   After all, at the Ancient Immortal level, cultivation advancement couldn’t be achieved with just a few cups of immortal tea.   At least,   the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle couldn’t do that.   Of course,   if the target of the immortal tea wasn’t Chu Junhe, but an ordinary mortal, then the situation would be different.   A cup of immortal tea is enough to make someone ascend to immortality on the spot.   But there’s a prerequisite: the mortal must be able to withstand the power of the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle.   Otherwise, they will either   fail to ascend to immortality or explode and die.   ”In any case, I must thank the Sect Master this time. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to break through.”   Chu Junhe bowed again, his gratitude undiminished.   In recent days, he had often come to the Nourishing Heart Residence, occasionally asking Shen Changqing for guidance. Now, he had broken through to a higher realm with the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle.   Chu Junhe would never forget such kindness.   Although he knew very well that this was just a casual thing for the person in front of him, it was an immense opportunity for him.   Shen Changqing accepted   the bow without hesitation.   Not long after, Chu Junhe took his leave.   Having broken through to the late Ancient Immortal stage, he also needed to return to seclusion for a period of time to consolidate his newly achieved cultivation.   Such a breakthrough was naturally not to be taken lightly.   Shen Changqing did not stop him. After Chu Junhe left, he poured the remaining tea from his cup onto the jujube tree, making the eighth-order spiritual root even greener.
